I have researched the heck out of this so forgive if I missed the answer somewhere...
I have registered a custom post type 'audiotalk'. Each talk can have one or more teachers so I registered a custom taxonomy for audiotalk called 'teacher' (non-heirachical).
I have an archive and single template for each audiotalk. I would like to find out if I can create an archive and single template for each teacher, with photo (I am using a plugin that associates an image with a taxonomy), description ($term->description) and that's pretty much it. The archive would simply be a list of teachers with links to their single page.
I've tried creating a single-teacher.php template but it's not working, meaning I am linking to, for example https://my.bodhitree.com/teacher/doreen-virtue/ and it's not using that template. In fact that page doesn't exist and I'm not sure why.
Can anybody enlighten me about what to do next?
single-teacher.php
template, that is for custom post types, not taxonomies. Taxonomies are used to group posts, so they only have archives for each term in the taxonomy. – Milo Dec 31 '16 at 3:00
